EDITORIAL: KMT congress marks depravity

In its highly secured national convention today, the KMT will demonstrate that it is a party of depravity that is deaf to public discontent and resists reform. The theme for the convention — “spare no efforts and move forward (努力進前),” a term coined by Republic of China founding father Sun Yat-sen (孫逸仙) — is an embarrassing reminder for the KMT that it has done the opposite of what its founding father had hoped, and failed to meet public expectations of what a responsible ruling party should be.
